There is also an open source Diablo 2 engine, however the project hasn't had any updates in 7 months

I want to meet the person who reported a bug with this running on the original Xbox. Warms my heart someone out there still uses it and has already tried this.

Back in the day all wikis used to be open for editing, unfortunately spam and vandalism has made it rare. Anyway, as another random visitor, I simply reverted that change.

Is there a list of all projects like this that are at a release stage? I would like to follow this scene.

Does anyone have examples of games with a client/server architecture, where new clients have been written, but that can still connect to an original server? I think there's a valuable learning exercise in the idea, but I can't find anything that actively courts multiple clients being developed.

Old School Runescape. Pretty much everyone is using the Runelite client instead of the official one
